The Pocketknife Bible by Anis Mojgani (Hardcover)

Anis Mojgani's The Pocketknife Bible asks you to imagine if your future unfolded in childhood dreams.

Through playful poems and illustrations, this collection blurs the line between a children’s book and an adult’s memory of being a child. It’s part prophecy, part picture book, part time capsule—a reminder that the kid we used to be might still know something we’ve forgotten.

As if I was the star shaped piece cut out

of the dark sky’s fabric to let light pour in.

Both of us move without moving

Both of us on fire but not on fire.
